Family wedding stay
This property was perfect for my nephew’s wedding at the Washington. Everyone was jealous we were able to walk to and from the event! The house was cozy and comfortable. Fortunate we were able to stay in a rural Pennsylvania neighborhood for our first stay to the state.

We think of the yellow springs house as our home away from home. We use it as a base to visit family and it was wonderful to return again this year. We love the location and the property and Chris/Alyssa are great hosts.

Relaxing & quaint
We loved our brief stay at the property. The house feels warm and cozy. It was perfect to come back to after a busy I have to Alexa to Costco list Costco list day with family. I love the historic community. And we went for a long walk on the local trail. The house was clean. We did not interact with the host as they had everything set up for easy access. Be ready to climb some stairs and the shower is quite quirky. But we’d definitely stay there again.

Book your stay now!
Staying here was a real treat! A great place especially for those seeking a blend of weddings and relaxation. We were in town for my sister's wedding and were so happy with the charm of this rental. Also, Chris was very responsive and accommodating to our two dogs! The rich history of the place made every stroll along the paths feel like a journey through time, especially knowing that George Washington once frequented the area. Being close to top-notch restaurants and bistros meant every meal was a delight. There was never a shortage of things to do. It truly was an unforgettable experience!

Magical yard
Great location. Comfortable beds but everything needed a good cleaning, not horrible, but lots of room for improvement. Also, no mention of so many stairs and uneven levels to each bedroom. Not great for older folks. But it worked and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful historic location
So many nice surprises awaited us in this property and location. There were many extras supplied by the owner and interesting ways to find the correct way to access the locks, electrical outlets, television, and hallways. We enjoyed the challenges and the beautiful landscape, along with the lovely location.

Beautiful home away from home
We stayed with our dogs for the weekend and can’t say enough good things. The home is a gem of a property - the pictures simply don’t do it justice. Beautiful, clean, quiet, cozy, and stocked. And so magical at night with the trees all lit up outside. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!

Lovely, quiet, property a bit worn
Overall, a very nice stay. There were plenty of towels and extra bedding. The kitchen is well-equipped. The owner provides two inflatable mattresses, so it can sleep a few extra people. There's one queen bed that's fairly comfy, and a double bed in the second bedroom that's also fairly comfy. There's a powder room on the first floor and a large bathroom on the second floor. The road is very quiet, and there is a large yard for walking dogs, which are allowed. The neighborhood is very pretty. We walked every morning to Yellow Springs, an 18th century building down the street that's used for weddings now. It has a beautiful herb garden and is quite lovely. My only complaint about this property is that it could use some updating. It was beautifully renovated likely in the early 1990s, but has not been substantially updated since then. It's perfectly fine, a very nice space that's larger that it appears in the photos. But the walls in the second bedroom have many cracks, and the paint is peeling in the upstairs bathroom. The property was very clean overall, but the mini-blinds and the two air conditioners were quite dusty. The air conditioners should be replaced, as they are noisy and don't cool the entire house. There's only one air conditioner on the second floor, in the main bedroom. It was very hot when we were there, and the house felt hot and damp. The internet worked fine, and the Roku TV worked fine. The couch in the living room is comfy enough for watching movies, but the cushions were flattened. There's a nice eating area in the kitchen with a large table that was very pleasant for eating meals with our family. I didn't cook while there, but used the stove to heat up take-out meals. It worked fine, but it's very old and the oven is on the small side. The burners worked fine for heating water for tea. Coffee and tea were provided, which is a nice touch. If you have mobility issues, you should know that the second floor has a step up to the master bedroom and a step up to the main bathroom off the main hall, which are difficult to see in the dark. I tripped a few times until I got used to them.
